Unwarranted Permanent Ban on Apr 07,2024

Hello EA Apex Support & Community Moderators,

My Apex Steam account was permanently banned on Apr 07,2024 for no proven cheating behavior. I’m a Platinum-tier player accumulating over 1000 official game hours.

The ban happened when I queued Silver ranked with my friend in a local internet cafe. I turned on Huorong Security antivirus on the shared public PC solely to protect my account from being stolen, no third-party cheat tools were opened at any moment. Right before being banned, I spent collected heirloom fragments to craft guitar heirloom, which cost me lots of in-game resources; I have zero motivation to cheat and abandon my precious rare in-game item and long-time game investment.

I filed the first EA appeal immediately after suspension, yet it was rejected without disclosing my specific violation reason. I was tied up with daily work for nearly two years and couldn’t follow up on my case until recently. I’ve gone through EA’s full user policy thoroughly and confirm none of my actions break game regulations. My bound Steam profile has no VAC punishment ever.

Normal EA Help tickets only auto-reject my request with no detailed ban evidence, so I post here asking moderators to forward my case for manual audit of my gameplay history and login IP records to cancel this mistaken ban.

Ban Date:Apr 07,2024

    Hey LIANGZAICHEN1​,

    I'm afraid we are not able to route any appeals through an alternate path, sorry. All appeals must go through our Terms of Service team via an appeal

    I do see your recent case 248153056 appears to have gone through and was reviewed. The team would not be able to provide specific details regarding what specific program(s) may have been detected or specific timeframes, but these are reviewed. They are not auto-rejected unless you've reached a point where they're saying no further appeals will be reviewed, but that doesn't seem to be the case currently.

    You're absolutely welcome to create a new appeal to have a different member of our ToS team take another look at the situation. There are no alternate routes to have a ban reviewed, but an additional appeal will let the team investigate what took place to check through this again.
